A Popeyes restaurant (I assume it’s Popeyes Chicken) is coming to 29.
Located between the existing Kentucky Fried Chicken and Raising Canes Chicken, Popeyes will be opening on one of the busiest, and often times most challenging parts, of 29 southbound.
I have been wondering for months what was going in that building, both for curiosity’s sake and as I have a personal connection to that building (it is the site of the former Century 21 Manley – where I started my real estate career).
This morning was the first time I was able to get into the space, as there is no traffic at 7 o’clock on a Sunday morning. 🙂
There’s also a “Bring Popeyes to Charlottesville” Facebook page. Who knew?
